Yeah.

Lakai's maybe about maybe six, two and a half, something like that.

Karifi's nowhere near that.

So those sorts of guys at that height, they've really only got one position and that's open side flanker.

You know, and against Waikato, against the Chiefs, sorry, I thought Jacobson and Parker played really well.

To come back to your point, they played really well.

And that's an area that I try and watch closely.

And I've sort of forgotten about Jacobson because he'd gone missing a little bit.

And he's in that difficult size, a bit like Rosa Robertson, actually, where he's not quite big enough to be a ball winner in the lineouts.

On opposition ball, you only judge a player as a lineout forward if he can compete on opposition ball.

He's not quite big enough for that.

I'd like to see him playing open side more than anything.

But when he played at number eight, he's a bloody good rugby player.

And, you know, he's got to be in the picture somewhere, but I'm not quite sure whether he's big enough to play against the Springboks in South Africa at number eight.

But he is at number seven at open side flanker.

So, you know, it's super rugby level at the moment because you've got to understand that super rugby is not as strong as it was.

Super, super rugby is, is a bloody good level of rugby, but it's not as strong as it was when we had more competitive teams playing.

I'm talking about the South Africans more than anything because, you know, they really, you know, they stand you up, don't they?

You've got to be in or out against the South Africans.

There's no halfway measure.
